In 1588 king Christian IV also made a contribution to the construction of Colling, to complete a Giant tower. It was decorated with four large statues of Hannibal, Hector, Scipione and Hercules. To our time there is only one statue of Hercules, the statue of Hannibal was destroyed in 1808 during the fire, the statue of Hector died in a storm in 1854, and the statue of Spicion fell to the ground and broke.
